Loosen the bolt again take a chunk of 2x4 place it on top of the stem whack it hard. Try to avoid hitting it underneath the wedge may push out and damage the fork.
I knew you'd get it. Tweakers' paradise, once they're done with it, it is fully done. Crazy thing is, ONE time I drove past a bike left out there, was in a hurry to get somewhere, so I messaged my brother and he grabbed it instead. Vintage chromoly Shogun road bike, still a treasured member of his collection.If it's thrown out at Murphy's Inn Ill take your word for it. If you look at the back wall there may still be chi pig art work there. He tagged the building when SNFU played there in mid 2000.
Id go with the skinny tire just because it looks goodNow let's talk about the bars. This is where I might get into trouble with the Rule of 3. "Muscle bike appropriate bars (Apehangers, steering wheels, "weird" bars...)" So I got those mini apes. I haven't measured, but maybe 8-10" of rise, nice comfy sweep, definitely muscle bike stuff, right?

Muscle MX bars. Am I pushing it too far? Should I start looking for a skinny tire to make regs?
Nope. We got that one show, Sinkhole and Resin Scraper, at the Oddfellows hall. After that one, the respectable places were on to us. Does the Good Riddance show out in Osnabruk count? Lol the opening act singer had a wireless mic, was out in the bus drinking while the band was on stage. The mad old daysAny building that let us have punk rock shows is gross
EwwwwwwwwwwWe could get away with it in Osnabruk was way out there. PJ bar was the grossest it looked like a 70s strip club inside and the clientele was even worse we would would go set up at 1 in the afternoon 10 people at the bar and 6 teeth between them. Once seen a guy pee himself on the barstool and they kept serving him.
Watched a "weekend pass" guy do that on the bus in Kingston once. I used to be amused by that kinda thing. The quality of dives I frequent has elevated slightly. The lady requires less urine. Lola's is... Better? But actually haven't been inside a bar in years. I'm due for a messup.Once seen a guy pee himself on the barstool and they kept serving him.
A friend younger than I that passed away a few years back built this style of bike as a kid. I got his last one (gone now) and figured out he used a Murray King Kat springer on a Cook Brothers chrome BMX frame.Watched a "weekend pass" guy do that on the bus in Kingston once.

These sidetracks are appropriate, since my theme here is the muscle bike I would have built back in the day
